Author Ellen Mainville is a teacher, artist, and writer who has worked for many years in public and private schools. Married over 30 years to her husband Mark, with whom she has two (now-grown) sons, Ellen has turned to her private journals - from a life lived in active conversation with her God - to produce this engaging book of meditations. Arranged in three categories--God in my Home, God in my Heart, and God in my Journey--each meditation marries timeless wisdom from the Bible with some insight into the day-at-a-time enterprise of Christian living. Her reflections on quotidian events, unique personalities, and every-day challenges capture the attention and prise open the heart in ways are both subtle and profound. Ellen's award-winning poetry and her charming colored-pencil illustrations are interspersed throughout. (72 meditations, 21 illustrations)
